Transportation: Today, I stepped out of my car and slipped on a fresh coating...

By JulieKid - 04/05/2009 17:19 - United States

Today, I stepped out of my car and slipped on a fresh coating of ice on the ground. I tried to catch myself by grabbing the car on my way down, but unfortunately, I was trying to grab with the hand that was holding my car keys. I key-scratched my own car. FML

Today, I was running late for work. As I hurried out the door, I managed to trip over my own feet, fall off the front porch, and key my new car. FML

Today, after getting out the car and closing the door, I began walking and slipped on some black ice. In the moment of panic, I grabbed onto my car wing mirror. Luckily, I didn't hit the deck. Unluckily, the wing mirror broke off. FML

Today, I shut my finger in the car door. The door locked. Then I dropped the keys on the ground and couldn't reach them. FML

Today, I lost control of my car on a patch of ice and slid off the road, messing up my car. I was working on a news story about bad road conditions. FML

Today, I thought I'd wear my snow boots so I wouldn't slip on the ice at work. I crashed my car because I can't feel the pedals with my boots on. FML

Today, as I was closing my car door, I realized I had left the keys in the ignition. Not wanting to lock myself out, I reached to stop the door from closing. Not only did I scream when the door slammed on my hand, but in my furious pain, I leaned on the door, locking my keys inside. FML

Today, I was walking home from work, when I slipped and fell on a patch of ice. I clambered back to my feet, made it three feet, then slipped and fell again. A guy who'd witnessed the whole thing stuck his head out of his car window and yelled "Dumbasssssss!" FML

Today, my car got stuck in a foot of snow. I tried desperately digging around my wheels to see if it would help. I was finally able to get out 10 minutes later only to realize that I had dropped my phone in the snow while I was digging and had run over it. FML

Slippery

By charliebravo77 - 09/12/2011 20:14 - United States

Today, I drove into the parking lot at work, and discovered too late that there were patches of ice everywhere. As I turned to enter my usual spot, I lost control of the vehicle, and despite my pleas, praying, and profanity, it glided straight into my boss's car. FML

Today, I walked to the end of my driveway to pick up the newspaper. I read the front page that was talking about people who have been getting hurt from slipping on ice. Laughing about that thought and walking up my driveway, I slipped. FML

Okay, let me explain it. The OP started to slip on ice, and tried to prevent herself from falling by grabbing the car. Unfortunately, the hand that was grabbing the car had the car keys in that. This means that the OP, when making grabbing motions, effectively scratched her car with the keys, causing a "keyed car" effect. OP fell and damaged her paint job. And other hemispheres have winter at different times than others, so it's possible for the OP to be somewhere snowy.

#53: It isn't summer everywhere, at the moment in other places it is winter, the Earth's rotation.

THANK YOU, #27 and #28 for being understanding! :) Finals week is hell, as we all know it! And as for the other comments, why are we getting all geographical here? It is May, yes, but the weather these days is soo crazy. It's actually cold outside in some places, 'specially in the East Coast.

Not an FML. You didn't get hurt, and it's just a scratch on a car. And ice in May? "I live in Alaska, where we still have ice. As I was stepping out of the car, I slipped on a sheet of it, and groped for the door with my hand. I was still holding my car keys, and as my hand slipped they tore a foot-long, inch-and-a-half-deep gash on my newly restored 1966 Corvette. And I broke my leg." That would have made it an FML.

For all of the arrogant ass Europeans with the "jeeze you self-centered Americans" attitude.... A. Most populated places in the southern hemisphere don't even have real winter weather even in the middle of their winter. Australia/Oceania, southern Africa, and South America. With the exception of the Highlands and Andes in south America; none of these areas have snow or ice even during the peak of their winters B. May isnt even the dead of winter in the southern hemisphere....it would be more like mid/late fall in the Northern hemisphere (think October/early November). C. Nobody was claiming it was "impossible" that there was ice on the ground in May; just that it was highly unusual. They were asking "where do you live" because it would be interesting to know as it is most likely at a very extreme latitude/very high altitude area. It was a legit question. But what do I know...i'm just a self centered, ignorant neo-nazi Bush loving American right? (rolls eyes)
